Can't delete SD card contents. Full Review

I love this application. It allows me to view files in detail that are taking up a lot of space and memory that are using up my battery and slowing down my phone. "Device Management", which comes installed on this wonderful Samsung phone that I bought doesn't show these files. It's a well written easy to use all action that I highly recommend. Thank you Google for this great application. I love you guys! Full Review

It is the best. I have tried many gallery as my oem not provided with default gallery although google does provided file manager a gallery kind required to access all the media. All the other transfering some data in foreground as well as background. I felt weird. I feel fishy and so i installed filesgo that fulfilled with files go. It does very much pretty well job in very decent and it has alot in it. My request please support heavy files transfer. I neede to transfer 9.90Gb includes .jpg, mp3, png. Mp4. Files go unable to do it. I installed shareit. No other option i had. Full Review

Everything is superb. It's so smart. But I expected more from you guys. I faced a small issue. I have used custom song as ringtone and I have it in "ringtone" folder. App asked me to remove un used files and so I approved it. My ringtone song is deleted and my phone's ringtone is changed. Please make it more smart and don't delete the song which I am using it as ringtone. Full Review

Automatically finds unused data and duplications Anything unusful. No issues with phone operations, accounts, or any app on my phone since I used and applied "Files Go by Google" and now have more space. Annoying notification alerts are gone. Recently switched all my Samsung and stock phone info and apps over to all Google Apps , including Contacts, Calendar, Music, Camera, and more. LOVE the design and integration between all Google Apps. SO Impressed how well the apps work and what they do, I am now looking and considering the Google Pixel Smartphones over the S8+ and Previous Note models I have been using for years. GREAT JOB GOOGLE! Full Review

I really like how the app is small, neat, and colorful. I also appreciate how it cleans out app files (like ads and other junk) that fills up my phone. With this app, I feel free downloading things, because if I forget about them and don't use them, then they are brought up 30 days later to be removed. :) Full Review

As a cleaner application it's the best, hands down. It's easy to see what and how much data can be deleted, while the user maintains full control over what gets deleted. It also has a tiny footprint on the device. The file explorer aspect could use some improvement though, in my opinion. It has these file categories like music, documents etc. which in my experience just becomes a big mess because apps store stuff all over the place. A directory explorer appears more organized and allows for quick deletion of large folder structures. Full Review

I don't really rate apps but when I do, I really like it. Google Files Go has detected files in my phone that I didn't think existed! I honestly think it goes into the root levels finding random memes that came up on my Snapchat that I didn't even know it downloaded... This is a great app for storage cleanup and I highly recommend!

Needs to autodetect screenshot in sd card as well so that they can be easily deleted. I manually selected 7700 pics I didn't need and tried deleting them but the delete speed was very slow. Also if there is Google photos integration it would be great so I can easily which files from my SD card are backed up and can be deleted. Because the photos app doesn't allow me to remove already backed up pictures that are backed up from memory card. You can always email me for more clarification and other suggestions Full Review

Needed to clear empty folders - not files like .nomedia The UI is not good enough. E.g. most people would even find it difficult to find that this app has a feature like SHAREit. Needed an option to clear out left out files by other apps. Duplicates do not have any option for user how duplicates are to be selected. E.g. I would prefer bit to bit match or atleast same file size. And an option to select which files to keep. Full Review

Best Android cleanup app by a mile! It should be no surprise that Google knows how to make a great optimization tool since they wrote the operating system. However, where this app shines is its easy to use interface, strong features, and a total lack of bugs. Full Review

Could be very helpful but it asks me to delete unused files/apps that I use quite often. Also I'm really unsure about the remove duplicate files option. I'm concerned about whether it's gonna remove one file or both. Anyway except for those issues it's usable enough for now. Full Review

Everytime it tells me to remove "old" files which I'm currently using. Tells me to clear up 5GB of important data. Have deleted stuff with the app before. They claim it's duplicates but I'm not so sure. Idk if singular files have been deleted. At least if they show apps I'm not using, videos or audios I've not watched in a long time, that's OK. Don't you dare tell me to delete my music. That even, my best songs?!!! Full Review

It removed my background image, some files I havr downloaded today, and missed to suggest unused google apps, while it tried to remove my only music player app. It's quite an efficient way to shoot yourself in the foot anytime. Full Review

Duplicate files is dangerous the way they go about it. You don't see the details of the duplicates, just one instance if what it finds duplicated. So you don't know which one will be removed or where they are. DETAILS PEOPLE! Needs to show the paths of where they are and let the user choose which portion of the set is to be removed -- for those who care about their files. Full Review

Pretty neat app. I think it may be used with the new base OS that Google has created. Well I thought that due to the name of this app. Go and the new Google GO OS. Our new world has arrived. Right before our very eyes. We welcomed it with open arms and many said heck no to it and their beliefs kept them from accepting it. Bless their hearts. They can't see themselves in their own mirror I guess. Full Review

Annoying notifications. I have 128GB of internal storage, of which 80GB is unused. Why does the app keep notifying me of how to free up one gigabyte when I still have plenty of space left? Response to dev: Yes I know that, but why does the app even suggest deleting files when I still have tons of space left on my phone? Shouldn't it only do this if I'm running low on storage space? Response 2: Thanks, I left some feedback straight from the app. Full Review

Good app for cleaning app caches and transferring files over WiFi. I also had to turn off data before files could be transferred successfully. Will give 5 stars once the issues reported by others are fixed and file sharing will not require location and bluetooth services to be on and data service to be off. Full Review

(For everyone who's saying it is: this is not a "file manager") Downloaded it again to make sure I wasn't jumping the gun on a low rating just because I'm not to fond of Google. I'd guess the file transfer is useful if you're into sharing files with friends. And this would help keep media folders clean for people who have no interest in learning more about Android. But these are usually the folks who don't want to - or shouldn't - be deleting things, in the first place. Inevitably, they realize they deleted something they wanted. This would be more useful with an archiving function: "deleting" the files to an archive on a PC, Chromebook or even Apple where it's contents could be looked at later. Perhaps even archiving to another card. I can't imagine IT savvy individuals would find this app useful but this is probably good enough for people who lead non-IT lives and just want their electronics "to work." Full Review

Until the App can move files into folders; until it can create the folders when and as needed; and until it can move whole folders with their contents; and do this all so other device apps as well as a PC can recognize in real time, without a restart, the changes made to the file / storage system, the App is merely a cute toy without real utility. It certainly doesn't compete with the likes of Alcatel's File Manager (which is only minimally useful) or ES File Explorer (which has 'real time' file system update problems). Files Go has a long way to go, though the developers do require a PST on the head. Full Review

I like your app but I DON'T need a notification every day telling me I have unused apps and could free up space, especially when I'm only half full with internal space. If I dismissed the message the day before because I didn't want to delete any why do I get another notification the next day? I see the options for notifications but there's no frequency option. I'm going to just disable notifications all together, except for space, because they don't seem that useful and they're annoying. Otherwise this is a nice, useful, non-bloated tool. Thanks.

I normally don't rate Apk's, but this one has real potential. It has a great user interface and layout. I find myself using this on my Pixel 2 XL frequently. I will review the App again, but feel that there's room for improvement. Mainly, the need for a file details tap/option on the Storage Page. So I can see were the file is located on the partition before deleting said file (ie: location(drive internal/external)/ folder where the file is located/ full file name). This would come into play on duplicate file deletion option and also for photos that are saved to my phone. Since I have my phone backup pictures to Google Drive (a free unlimited option that came w/ the purchase of the Pixel 2 & 2 XL). But sometimes it will delete from the Google Drive and not the phone internal storage. Thus, the file path and location is a key feature that is missing and would make this App 5â­, once updated.

1) totally unintuitive design, and no explanations, I don't know what to expect from the move function until I've tested it. 2) I can't decide where on the sd-card my files will go. 3) the app forces me to watch while it moves 5000 thumbnails to sd-card. If I press the only button available it aborts without confirmation, and I have to wait till the "card" comes back to continue. 4) can't perform actions I know needs doing unless the app suggests it. 5) moving files to SD-card erases all file dates, so now all 5000+ files I moved are "created" today. That really sucks!!! 6) freed up 150mb of thumbnails, that will just be regenerated by the phone once I open any gallery app, and nothing more. =( Not quite what I expected from google. Disappoint* Full Review

Excellent cleanup app by Google. Does what other apps apps claim to do but without the malware/ads. Probably subsumes your app and file usage into the collection of things Google knows about you. But hey, that's fine. Full Review

Why was my review removed? Testing 123. They dont want to allow my review. Ok lets try this review again. I lost video files because of this program!! Maybe if my previous review was not deleted you would know that I didn't lose the files due to the program deleting my files. I lost the files because it was NOT DELETED. Yes that means when moving files from the phone to the memory card, it only moved the data and left an empty 0kb file on the phone with the same name and no data in it. When transferring files from the phone to the computer and selecting to replace existing files it replaces the files on the computer with the 0kb EMPTY file. This would not have been the case if the files with the same name actually had data in it. Or if the program actually did what it specifies it should do, which is move the ENTIRE file to the memory card and not just the DATA. All of this was specified in my previous review, but my review was REMOVED. Full Review

I'm not very good with organizing and I'm looking for the simplest way to accomplish that. One reviewer said that he found stuff that he didn't know existed in his phone and I had the same experience. Thing is I'm like what do I do with this? I know cancelling duplicate files is a must, but there was so much stuff, I didn't know where to start and then I started to worry about deleting things I might need! Full Review

So, it does everything you already have on the phone, so nothing new and of course it wont show unused Google applications... Response to developer: You saying what it already has in the descripton wont help raising my rating. I dont understand your so called offline sharing, without the internet, you can share through BT or NFC or as a link? Normal preinstalled file explorer has that already... Enlighten me... Update 19.03: No further response from the developer. Classic. Full Review
